About
Destin Laser Tag and Blacklight Mini-Golf is one of those activity spots that sounds straightforward until you actually walk in, and then kids refuse to leave. The blacklight mini golf is genuinely spectacular — UV-reactive paint and neon colors transform a standard mini golf course into a glowing, otherworldly experience that kids find utterly captivating. Pairs perfectly with a rainy afternoon or a post-dinner evening activity.
The laser tag arenas are the other main draw: darkened rooms with fog machines, tactical barriers, and flashing lights create an immersive combat environment for kids 6 and up. Teams get vests and guns, divide up, and spend 15-20 minutes in strategic (or chaotic, depending on age) battle. It's a physical, social activity that gets kids moving and laughing.
With 500 reviews and a 4.6-star average, this spot consistently delivers for visiting families. The location on Emerald Coast Pkwy at The Track complex puts it adjacent to Gator Beach, Fat Daddy's Arcade, and The Track go-karts, making it easy to combine multiple activities in one afternoon.
Weekday hours don't start until 3PM (noon on weekends), making this naturally an afternoon or evening activity — which is perfect timing for Destin families who spend their mornings on the beach. The 10PM closing time means you can fit laser tag in after dinner without rushing. Combo packages for both laser tag and mini golf offer the best per-activity value.

Why Kids Love It
The blacklight mini golf is the secret weapon here — UV-reactive colors make the entire course glow in a way that feels like playing golf in another dimension. Kids who aren't usually into mini golf suddenly become obsessed when the course is lit with blacklights and neon. Laser tag arenas give kids structured, safe combat action in darkened arenas with fog machines and flashing lights.
